About “Tape”
No, you’re not reading the wrong manual. Our goal was to build a hard disk
recorder that is comfortable for someone familiar with tape recording, but that
doesn’t require you to get a brain transplant from a computer geek to use. When
familiar terms such as Tape Inputs, Tape Returns, Transport, and the like are
applied to the HDR24/96, they mean exactly what you expect them to mean.
